a body condition measure that rescales an animal's mass to a standard body length using the population's mass-length allometry.

In zoology, scaled mass index refers to a body condition measure that rescales an animal's mass to a standard body length using the population's mass-length allometry. This meaning comes from Peig (2009) in Oikos.[1]
